The Cream Shadow Post

 My latest buy from Laura Mercier reminded me of my love for cream eyeshadows. Since its been windy and cold my cream shadows have been a little buried under my collection but I have recently brought them back to light and have been wearing them everyday. The first up is Laura Merciers Burnished Copper Metallic Creme Eyeshdow (and take a breath...) This is so gorgeous, I fin it easy to work with as its creamy and easy to blend. Its so pigmented, the smallest amount goes a long way and the colour is beautiful. If you like your brown shadows with a bit of shimmer this is one for you!! It has a slight red undertone to it which I love and it can be worn really pigmented in colour or blended out for a sheer finish for an easy to wear everyday shade. The shimmer running through it is really subtle so can be worn on a night out or just as an everyday colour blended out over the lid-either way you need to check these shadows out if your an eyeshadow fan :)

 

Next up is another of Laura Mercier Metallic creme shadows this time in rose gold. This shade is another gorgeous one and if your a big fan of the colour this sweeps over the lid beautifully. Similarly to burnished copper it can be worn very pigmented or blended out to look more subtle. I cant wait to wear this shade throughout the summer as I think it will look lovely with a tan.

Digging into my makeup collection for more creme shadows I  found Mac's paint pot in the shade constructivist. This is quite a dark brown with a bit of shimmer, like many of the Mac paint pots this lasts forever and doesn't move when it's on the lids. I love to wear this is the crease or all over the lid for a dramatic eye on a night out. It's not as easy to blend as the Laura Mercier ones as it sets quickly but as long as you work with it as soon as applied the effect and pay off is excellent.

 

The final paint pot pictured is Mac groundwork, which is a brilliant everyday neutral colour, really easy to wear and great as a base too. 

I've inserted a photo below wearing Laura Merciers burnished copper over the lids just so you get an idea of the colour pay off.

The next on my cream shadow list to try out is Chanel Ebouli, a gorgeous red shad and Emmerveille, a peachy golden shade. I also think I may have to check out some of the new ones that have just been released by Estee Lauder.

Let me know what your fave cream shadows are :)

Lots of Love xxxxxx
